After Microsoft will implement Ubuntu Bash in Windows 10, news that was received with 'joy' by the Linux community, now a user named Guerra24 has achieved what seemed impossible, running the Ubuntu Unity environment in Windows 10, a feat that it has not been easy in the author's own words, but that it opens up a series of new possibilities when it comes to merging Ubuntu and Windows in the immediate future.

Ubuntu Unity comes to Windows 10

As can be seen in the different screenshots, the classic Windows desktop environment changes to that of Ubuntu's Unity, although with many bugs. It is noted that at the moment it is not functional but with work you will surely get it to work 100% thanks to the community of Linux and Windows users. This new option opens up many possibilities, such as: Running Linux applications natively on Windows or creating a Hybrid distro between Ubuntu and Windows 10, something that probably won't take too long to arrive.

Not only Unity works in Windows 10, but also Xfce

“I finally managed to run Unity in the Windows Subsystem for Linux. This shows that you are able to run a complete desktop environment. There are some problems with a bug and sometimes VcXsrv, and you cannot log out either, so the only way to do it is to close compiz, ” declares the developer.

Guerra24 has published on GitHub all the necessary software and documentation to run Unity in Windows 10 and even Xfce, the rest will be borne by the community as far as this advance goes.
